any ideas?

Because they chuck you out 20 MINUTES before closing time. I also think that most of the grades are wrong.

The other local walls let you climb until closing time and don't mind if you are packing up til about 10 past.

In reply to dan lane: If you had to work til 10 at night I'm sure you wouldn't be bothered about finishing on time!!

In reply to expert1:

No not if i was working. But i was climbing and i wanted to climb until closing time.

It is the norm to close at closing time not 20 minutes before it.

And awesome walls is just miles better.

In reply to dan lane: i heard it was awesome. i dunno wouldnt you want to get home asap if you were working at 10?!

In reply to nick Davis:
Not commenting on the wall itself at all. But surely if you close at 10 the staff wouldn't expect to leave until at least half 10, possibly 11? It's like a bar,once everybodies out the clearing up can begin.

In reply to dan lane: I've only been twice but me and some friends were in and climbing tonight until 5min's before closing and no one said a thing, couple of people were still bouldering. Don't think we actually left until dead on closing time and even then we were not encouraged to leave. Not been to stockport wall yet but plan to make a trip.

MCC is normally a regular haunt for me but I've been at Awesome Walls more as I have a pass now.

i agree with you abt the cleaning up time but it's a climbing wall, cleaning can happen in the morning when they reopen, how many climbing walls you know have a lunchtime rush?

they should work till 10 not inform people to start finshing off by 940. people pay and should climb till they want. or get a partial refund??

In reply to The Fox: Its always fairly quiet when I get there straight after work on a Tuesday, but is usually pretty packed by 8pm.



I like it at MCC and I like Awesome Walls, its nice to have a few indoor alternatives in the area.

Anyone been to the one in Marple?... I've not tried it yet so not sure what it's like.

In reply to The Fox: It was rammed today

In reply to hygor: I went to the Marple wall when the leading ladder was there. It's quite small but seems ok, good if you want to go for a bit of variety but I think if it was the only one around you'd get fed up of it pretty quickly. There's a cool looking featured wall (which apparently you can trad lead according to one of the staff!) and a mega steep overhang but that's short.
